Help with ACER Aspire 5050

Postby carlos on Fri Jan 05, 2007 7:28 pm

I recently bought an ACER Aspire 5050 which comes with bluetooth, I downloaded a driver for it from the manufacturer site thats called BTW, I instaled everything and it seemed to work fine at the moment but I don't know how to get the bluetooth to work because it keeps telling me " NO DEVICE (found)" can someone help me please?

I'm having the same sort of problems with my Acer Aspire 3610. So far, wireless works fine, but Bluetooth is going to take awhile.

If you haven't installed it, acer_acpi is a needed kernel module for wifi, bluetooth, and that cute little 'mail' LED.

Try checking out www.linuxquestions.org for Bluetooth help. If I find something useful I'll post it here too.

Good luck! :P
